What reading level is The Croakers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Inspectors of the wonders traced By pencil, brush or chisel ; Accept a nameless poet's lay Who longs to twine a twig of bay Around his penny whistle.
Ye learned and enlightened few Who keep the portal of viriu^ I pray you now unlock it ; And grant a peep for all my pains, Within your oil-bedaubed domains.
Where now the poor in brains Succeed the poor in pocket.
THE CROAKERS. 125 Immortal be the rich repast, At which the sage decree was past, Of pauper health so tender ; Which sent the beggars t...o Bellevue, And left the classic fane to you And Scudder's witch of Endor.
Obliging all, you fear no harm From disappointment's angry arm, No cudgels, sneers or libels ; Alike you smile on worst and best.
From great Rubens and quaker "West, To wooden cuts for Bibles.
Lo ! next the Gallic thunderbolt, Some nameless, shapeless, ugly dolt, His plastic phiz advances ; And vestal footsteps lightly tread, And Cupids sport around the head, Of gentle Doctor Francis. ^*^ While placed on high exalted pegs, Apollo blushes for his legs, And mourns his severed fingers ; Some amorous wight, with passion drunk, O'er Cythera's headless trunk.
